If you were to say I'm painting my panno gloss black I'd say you're nuts........

frogsta... what other colour could you paint them?? if im going to do it will be getting done so it turns heads and makes the girls drool.. (then i might get some)

matty, not sure how many coats are on it yet but will find out when its all finished and ready to have the insides stuffed with interior.. the newest panel beater is one picky bastard with his work, im glad he is doing it thats for sure..

wal, i did try it briefly and it looked like it was a bit big but i was going to use it as a template, ill keep informed about what happens with it when i get it home..


best thing about this panel is its going to be a daily driver, and park it away from small kids and shopping trollies.. until the dual gets done..

The surface rust looked like it hads pitted fairly badly, how did he deal with that? Did you get it blasted or just rub back and spray fill? What about welding any areas that had severve sunburn and surface rust?

it had a inside out sand blast and under as well.. then primered and filled from top to bottom with everything.. there is quite a few layers in it thats for sure.. all the surface rust came out when it was blasted so hopefully it wont rust ever.. or for a long time anyway..
